Bio/Research
My laboratory utilizes biochemical, biophysical, molecular, and proteomic approaches to study cell signaling pathways. We use human fibroblasts grown in cell culture as one model cell system to investigate early signaling events that are initiated when cells are stimulated with mitogens. We also use HEK-293 cells for studies where we introduce exogenous genes or siRNA constructs against endogenous genes, or, in some cases, fibroblasts derived from transgenic mice to evaluate the role of selected proteins in cell growth control. We also work in a cultured hippocampal cell system (H19-7 cells) when investigating questions pertaining to excitable cells.
